SONG FOR ARIEL, by STEPHEN MOONEY First Line: Pixie, hide your feet in fern Last Line: Till the enchanted children vanish. | |||
Pixie, hide your feet in fern Till a little lad return. Leave the bells upon your toes, Till the little fellow goes. In the water softly dive Till a little girl arrive. Let her see the Larger Dipper Buckled lightly to your slipper. Soon the lad will be too tall, And he will not come at all. He shall have a gun one winter And a horn, and be a hunter. And the girl with no concern For the water and the fern, She shall have a lady's chamber. She will not at all remember. Shake your bells, and sing you softly. Dance about their faces deftly. Never let your singing finish Till the enchanted children vanish. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FROM AN AEROPLANE by STEPHEN MOONEY SONG FOR THE GALASSBLOWER by STEPHEN MOONEY EPISTLE TO JOHN LAPRAIK, AN OLD SCOTTISH BARD by ROBERT BURNS SONG TO THE MEN OF ENGLAND by THOMAS CAMPBELL DEAD MAN'S DUMP by ISAAC ROSENBERG FRIENDSHIP [OR, THE TRUE FRIEND] by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE BIRDS by NESTA HIGGINSON SKRINE TO A YOUNG MAN ON THE PLATFORM OF A SUBWAY EXPRESS by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS TWENTY BLOCKS by EGMONT HEGEL ARENS |
